Product information
STARTER & KICK-STARTER collage punching bags
The STARTER & KICK-STARTER COLLAGE punching bags are handmade unique pieces - inspired by Stéréo Couleurs from Atelier Bingo.
The book brings together a selection of colorful collages made from cut-out paper, found materials, stickers, tape and everyday objects. This concept inspired us to design this punching bag. The COLLAGE punching bags are based on different designs from Stéréo Couleurs - each punching bag has its own color and pattern combination.
Beautiful enough for the living room, robust enough for everyday use - whether for intensive boxing training, for letting off steam, as an eye-catcher or as a special gift.
The STARTER (70 cm, 15 kg) and KICK-STARTER (100 cm, 20 kg) punching bags are ideal for young people and adult beginners who want to use boxing as a light fitness workout or technique training.
The KICK-STARTER punching bag is long enough for kickboxing and MMA. It is our most versatile beginner's punching bag - perfect as a "family punching bag": the softer filling makes it suitable for older children and teenagers, but it also offers enough weight for adults to train effectively. Each punching bag is traditionally handmade in Amsterdam.

Filling
Our punching bags are filled with shredded, recycled textile remnants. This ensures optimum shock absorption during punches and kicks and reduces the strain on the joints. As the textile deforms and is light and soft, less pressure is exerted on wrists, elbows and shoulders during training. Unlike rubber granules or sand, the material does not harden over time and remains pleasantly elastic. Most cheaper punching bags are machine-filled with rubber granules. The result is a heavy, but very hard and not very flexible bag. Textile-filled models, on the other hand, are softer, easier on the joints and are filled by hand. Rubber granulate is particularly unsuitable for children, as it makes the punching bag far too hard and creates a risk of injury.
Inside the punching bag is a cotton tube filled with fine gravel for additional weight. This combination of textile and gravel results in an optimum ratio of weight and impact absorption. The filling quantity of our punching bags can be easily adjusted at home to change the weight and elasticity of the punching bag. Depending on your needs, you can remove or add textile remnants to make the punching bag lighter or heavier. The punching bag is supplied with instructions. Detailed information on filling is also available online in our filling instructions.
Robust and durable - made in Amsterdam
We manufacture each punching bag with precision and traditional craftsmanship in our Snekkerbuks studio in Amsterdam. The high-quality workmanship and robust leather make the punching bag extremely hard-wearing and durable, abrasion and impact resistant.
Premium leather from sustainable production
Our leather punching bags are made from 100% high-quality, robust cowhide leather from responsible production. We only use leather from tanneries that are certified according to the Gold Standard of the Leather Working Group (LWG) - the world's leading sustainability standard for leather production. You can find more information in our article on our leather.
The leather is natural, the special surface characteristics of the leather, such as scars and subtle color differences, remain visible. Color and pattern variations compared to the models shown are therefore possible. The impregnation and a light wax finish make the punching bag water-repellent and very hard-wearing.
The straps are made of 4 cm wide, tear-resistant 100% cotton fabric, manufactured in Germany.
Suspension accessories included
The hanging accessories are included: Metal snap hook (100 mm) and hanging rope (10 mm thick, braided cotton rope). A ceiling or wall mount is not included, which you must select individually depending on the room.
Care instructions
To clean, simply wipe the surface with a damp cloth; use mild soap if necessary. The leather will develop a natural patina over time. If necessary, treat sparingly with a high-quality leather grease.
Frequently asked questions:
Who are the STARTER and KICK-STARTER punching bags suitable for?
The beginner punching bags are ideal for young people and adults who want to use boxing as a light fitness, cardio, technique or kickboxing workout. A weight of 15 - 20 kg offers enough resistance to strengthen muscles and improve technique - without increasing the risk of injury.
If you want to specifically train your punching power, are already advanced and weigh over 70 kg, we recommend a heavier punching bag from our KRAFT line.
How do I hang up the punching bag?
The punching bag is supplied with a snap hook and a strong cotton rope for suspension. Alternatively, you can also use a metal chain. To hang the punching bag, you need a sturdy mount on the ceiling or wall. You can find suitable ceiling or wall mounts in DIY stores or sports shops. Make sure that the punching bag can swing freely and is at least 1.5 m away from walls or furniture so that you can train effectively and safely. Don't want to drill holes in the wall or ceiling? Then free-standing punching bag holders or punching bag stands with a sturdy steel frame structure are a good alternative. You can find even more tips and ideas for hanging up punching bags in our blog article Hanging up punching bags: Step-by-step instructions for ceiling and wall mounting.
At what height should the punching bag hang?
The correct height depends on the height of the athlete. As a rule of thumb, the top edge of the punching bag should hang about 10 cm higher than your own height. This ensures that punches and kicks can be practiced realistically.
